TIPS
ROAD SAFETY
Learn how to use the various system func-
tions before setting off.
Care the instructions for the Radionaviga-
tor carefully before setting off.
The car is equipped with a Radionavigator
designed with the specifications of the pas-
senger compartment in mind and personal-
ized to fit in with the style of the dashboard.
To increase protection against theft, the Ra-
dionavigator has a protection system that
only allows it to be used on the vehicle in
which it has originally been fitted.
The instructions for use are given below and
we recommended reading them carefully
and always keeping them to hand (for ex-
ample, in the glove compartment).
RECEPTION CONDITIONS
Reception conditions change constantly
while driving. Reception may be interfered
with by the presence of mountains, build-
ings or bridges, or when you are far from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be increased
when receiving traffic bulletins.
If the volume is too loud this
can be dangerous. Adjust the
volume so that you can still hear
background noises (e.g. horns, am-
bulances, police vehicles, etc.).

IMPORTANT NOTES
If there is a problem, the system should on-
ly be checked and repaired at an Alfa Romeo
Authorized Workshop.
If the temperature is particularly low, the dis-
play may take a while to reach optimum
brightness.
If the car is stopped for a while and the out-
side temperature is low, the Radionavigator
may go into “thermal autoprotection” mode
stopping to work until the temperature in
the passenger compartment reaches accept-
able levels.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs
could cause problems when playing and
poor sound quality. Follow this advice for op-
timum conditions:
❍ only use branded CDs:
❍ clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingermarks or dust using a soft cloth.
Hold CDs by the outside and clean them
from the middle outwards;
❍ never use chemical products for clean-
ing (e.g. sprays or anti-static products or
thinners) because they can damage the
surface of the CD;
❍ after listening to them place CDs back
in their casings to avoid damage to
them;
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Observe the following precautions to ensure
the system is fully operational:
❍ the monitor is sensitive to scratching, liq-
uid detergents and UV rays;
❍ liquids that get inside could damage the
system irreparably.
Only clean the front and the display with a
soft, clean, dry, anti-static cloth. Cleaning
and polishing products could damage the
surface.
Avoid pointed or rigid objects
coming into contact with the
display and do not touch it. Whilst
cleaning, do not exert pressure on
the display.
Do not use alcohol or similar
products to clean the Radion-
avigator display or surround.

TIPS,CONTROLS AND GENERAL INFORMATION 7
❍ do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or dampness for long
periods;
❍ do not stick labels on the surface of the
CD and do not write on the recorded sur-
face using pens or pencils.
❍ do not use CDs that are very scratched,
flawed, distorted, etc. Using discs like
this will result in malfunctions or dam-
age to the player.
The use of original CD supports is required
for the best quality audio production . Cor-
rect operation is not guaranteed when
CD-R/RW media are used that were not cor-
rectly burned and/or with a maximum ca-
pacity above 650 MB.
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective
sleeves sold for CDs or discs with stabilizers,
etc. because they could get stuck in the in-
ternal mechanism and damage the disc.
IMPORTANT If copy protected CDs are used,
it may take a few seconds beore the system
starts playing them. The CD player cannot
be guaranteed to play all protected discs.
The presence of copy protection is often in
small letters or may be difficult to read on
the cover of the actual CD and it may say
something like, for example, “COPY CON-
TROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CAN-
NOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or identi-
fied through the use of symbols, such as, for
example:
IMPORANT The CD player is able to read
most of the compression systems currently
on the market (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but, following the develop-
ment of those systems, the playback of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
IMPORTANT If a multisession disc is loaded,
only the first session will be played.
